Regarding the starter:
- I just had to replace the starter in our van, that my wife drives and does NOT hypermile. 60,000 miles to failure.
- The starter in my civic is just fine, with 177,000 miles on it. I hypermile it heavily.
- Also, the clutch is just fine, at 177,000 miles.
- Basjoos had his clutch last nearly 500,000 miles before he replaced the whole engine.
Whether I'm tricking the gauge or not, the results at the pump show that something seems to be working. In the last year and a half, the total cumulative error between the gauge and pump is only 1/2 gallon.
